com object can't access local file system from web page

I have created a c# dll that is a com object. It is embedded on the webpage using the <object> tag. It works fine.

I now have a requirement to access a file in the program files folder that has some setup values, but I can't do it from a webpage on the server.

The dll is downloaded with a windows application and regasm is run prior to opening the website. The dll can access a database (from the web page). how can I grant permissions to the object that allows local file access? The access only needs to be read access.

Interesting idea, however there are several of these sites and I would need to modify the way they are launched individually, so this would become a maint nightmare.

I would like to write a small file when the win application starts up and allow the com object access to that file for the information it needs. I just don't know how to do this for a .net object. If it were java I would install a java.policy file on the machine (since these are internal sites that's easier than it sounds through group policy).
